This oat milk smoothie is a healthy, refreshing drink full of fruit flavor. Oat milk is the perfect base for a thick, delicious vegan drink.

Oat milk is ideal for a smoothie because it’s naturally thick. It can be used in just about any smoothie recipe for a smooth, creamy drink. It’s also one of the most affordable non-dairy milks, with homemade oat milk costing just $.07 per cup.

This oat milk smoothie has a vibrant berry flavor, and the oat milk gives it a great texture. The banana sweetens the smoothie, and you can add a little pure maple syrup if you want it even sweeter.

I like to portion this smoothie into one cup servings, but you can make bigger or smaller servings depending on your smoothie appetite. This recipe yields four cups. Try it as a snack or alongside a meal for a quick burst of nutrients.

Oat Milk Smoothie Tips

As with most blender recipes, it’s important to add the liquid to the blender first. This will allow the blades of the blender to work properly and puree the solid ingredients into a smooth drink.

I recommend using frozen berries in this oat milk smoothie. They help thicken the drink and keep it cold. If you’d prefer to use fresh berries, you can add a couple ice cubes and a bit of extra fruit to get the best texture. And for an even thicker smoothie, use a little less milk.

If you don’t drink the whole batch right away, the excess can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. It does taste best immediately after blending.

You can vary the ingredients of this smoothie in many different ways. Try oat milk in a tropical green smoothie, apple smoothie, or pomegranate smoothie for a delicious snack.

For the most affordable smoothie, you can make your own homemade oat milk before proceeding with this smoothie recipe. The extra milk can be used in cereal, baking recipes, or just about anywhere else you would use milk. Store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
